What Daihen does

Maker of arc-welding equipment/robots and power electronics, including RF power supplies for semiconductor plasma processing.

Splits across businesses with different cycles: welding equipment and robots sold to auto and heavy industry, transformers for utilities, and RF power supplies for chip-equipment makers. Chip-equipment orders drive the swing; welding and transformers are steadier. Its welding robots are sold with its own welding power sources, which bundles the sale.

In one line: A smaller Lincoln Electric with a semiconductor RF-power side business.

Products and services

  • Arc welding machines & robots
  • RF generators/matching networks for semiconductor etch
  • Power transformers
  • Wireless power transfer systems

Customers

  • Auto/heavy manufacturers (welding)
  • Semiconductor equipment makers (RF power)
  • Electric utilities (transformers)

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Industrial equipment
  • Welding & power electronics
  • Welding robots, RF power, transformers

What could go right

  • Semiconductor capex (etch RF power)
  • Automation demand in welding

What could go wrong

  • Semiconductor capex cyclicality
  • Steel/auto production cycles

Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification). Qualified RF power supplier inside semiconductor etch tools; strong domestic welding brand.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
